It's not every day at work that someone who's the boss of you gives you these instructions: "You're running out of a stadium that's rapidly filling with sharks—some of them on fire." Yup. That really happened. Not the part about sharks filling up a stadium—or even being on fire. But we did have to run, through a snowstorm, out of New York's Citi Field, pretending we were terrified and that it was summer. It was AWESOME. Last week, I spent a day on set at Sharknado 2: The Second One—the semi-hotly-anticipated sequel to last year's Sharknado, which aired on the Syfy Network. Did you see it? Here's a refresher: (Just in case you can't watch the video right this second, that's the scene when 90210's Ian Ziering gets swallowed by a flying shark and then chainsaws his way out.) Here's what my day was like on set. We got there super early—around 7 A.M.

Move over, Magic Mike—make way for...Magic Ian? Ian Ziering, better known to former '90s teenagers as "Steve Sanders" and "Oh yeah, what has that guy been up to lately?" has a new gig coming up that will either fulfill all your adolescent fantasies (well, unless you were more of a Dylan girl, and really, who wasn't?) or make you giggle. As of June 6, he'll be the scantily clad guest headliner in Las Vegas for the Chippendales. His wife really did give him the nickname of Magic Ian, so it seems she approves. Ian was formerly a semifinalist on the 2007 season of Dancing With the Stars, so he knows how to strut his stuff. He's excited about the new job, saying, "I am so excited to be a part of this iconic worldwide organization; it's really a dream come true!" And he's definitely got the body to put him in the good company of other hottie actors who've shown us a little skin. Not bad for a 49-year-old, right? (Wait a minute, a star of 90210 is pushing 50?!?! What is happening to my youth??) Any '90s gals got a bachelorette party coming up? I just planned it for read more
